Huge female ready to breed
After nursing our small males from new-borns to over 1 metre long and 4 years old, we want to start a breeding programme. Females get much larger than males, so we knew our under 1 metre female wasn't ready yet...
So Thomasina has come to stay! She belongs to a friend of ours who has been getting her into superb shape for the past 12 months, and now we think (hope) the time is right to introduce them. I'm a bit worried about the size disparity, but the experts tell us this is the way it works, so here we go....
Thomasina is twice as long and probably 4 times as heavy as Rifraf and Magenta, so either they are in for the time of their lives, or a completely traumatic experience. We'll keep recording!
Here's the gorgeous Thomasina, almost 2 metres long:
In her bath before joining our snake tanks:
She's ready for her close-up Mr DeMille....
And our comparatively puny males, Magenta and Rifraf, hopefully up to the task....
